I finally found my first large cent this morning. I was detecting my 1800’s homestead, which I have detected almost daily for two years, and I found my oldest coin to date. An 1847 largie!!! Such a good day!!! She was 8-10 inches down, below two old square nails. I could hear a repeatable high tone, but not a great one. I dug and there it was.
Thank you Black Bart for reminding me on YouTube to share it over here. ✌🏼❤️😊🍀

Congrats on a great looking coin. I have been lucky enough to find a small number of LCs; however, most of them are in a very delicate condition with a flaking patina. Yours looks crisp and real solid. Again, congrats on a terrific coin. Hope you find another one soon.
